My Lord Mayor, I am prouder of that honour certainly than the first place in vier —the first rank in war—the first honour in war—because I consider it the greatest honour for me to be a freeman of this glorious city—(cheers)—the focus of the civilisation of the world. (Cheers.) Ido not exaggerate, I think, in saying this, because I have seen now that this city is the very centre of liberty. Here there are ho strangers, because every inhabitant is at home in England. (Cheers.) I re peat, that it would be impossible for me to express my gratitude to you and to the City of London, but I have to thank you not for my own proper self alone, but for the sake of my country, which looks to England for any succour she can have in war, and certainly all my countrymen never can be grateful enough to the English people for their sup port, their sympathy, and their material aid given to oppressed peoples—given under every circumstance. This is not the only occasion on which I have had the happin, se to meet the English people. I have been happy will' them in many places in the world and at many times. In America particularly, under some circumstances under the protection of the British flag, I have been saved. In China [ received favours from the English people so great that it is impossible for me to forget in all my lite, and in every part of the world my gratitude, my affection, and my love fur the English people must be imperishable. (Cheers.) lam grateful for my country, too, for the sympathy shown it by the English people, and in their behalf and my own I thank you. The General then resumed his seat amidst immense cheering. A special meeting of the general committee of the Garibaldi Reception and Testimonial Fund was held at the London Tavern last evening for the purpose of considering the unexpected approach of the ter mination of Garibaldi's visit to England. Mc. Ed ward Miall presided, and the proceedings, which lasted for nearly three hours, were throughout very noisy and disorderly. In nearly every instance the speakers declined to regard health as the primary cause of Garibaldi's departure, but affirmed most positively that the General was influenced in his decision by representations made to him from foreign Governments through every possible channel that could be devised. Mr. Seely, who was present, gave all these assertions the most complete denial. He said that owing to the number of the towns which Garibaldi had engaged or proposed to visit, exceeding 30 in all, his friends perceived that they could not be keot witnoat seriously endangering his health. Accordingly, on Sunday night last the Duke of Sutherland, Earl Shaftesbury, General Eber, Colonel PeHrd, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Negretti, and himself met at Stafford-house to consider the propriety of limiting the General's visit to six or eight of the principal towns of the kingdom, affording the remainder an opportunity of pre senting addresses to him at those places, if they should think such a course desirable. The General replied that it would be impossible for him to draw a line, and that he would in preference leave Eng land at once. That very morning the Duke of Sutherland, Earl Shaftesbury, Count Ssffi, General Eber, Colonel Peard, Mr. Negretti, Mr. Stansfeld, and Mr. Humbro had endeavoured to induce the General to reconsider his determination, but without any result. Mr. Negretti, following Mr. Seely, recounted the fatigues which had been undergone by the General during his stay in London, and assured the comrai(tee 'hat every effort that might be made would beuseless. The kindness that had been extended towards the General was undoubtedly sincere, but was of to, demonstrative a character for an invalid. After a great deal of angry declamation, the fol lowing resolution, moved by Mr. Nicholay, and seconded by Captain E. Dresser Roger, was unani mously carried : " That it is at this moment very inexpedient, and in the interests of true liberal principles highly un desirable, that General Garibaldi should be induced to leave this country, more particularly as the rea sons of his departure are not fully stated." After appointing a deputation to visit General Garibaldi for the purpose of inducing him to post pone his return to Caprera, the meeting separated. DEPUTATIONS TO GARIBALDI. A deputation from4he City Reception Committee, in con junction with a deputation from the Working Men's Recep tion Committee, waited upon General Garibaldi last night at half-past 11 o'clock, at Mr. Seely's residence, 26, Princes gate, for the purpose of representing to him the great dis appointment that would be felt by the people of England should he depart from this country without, at least, paying his promised visit to some of the large towns. The deputa tions, which were kindly received by the General, were introduced by Mr. Wilfrid Lawson, M.P. Mr. BELLES, having read to the General the resolution alopted by the City Committee yesterday evening, urged upon him the propriety of his reconsidering his determina tion to leave England without visiting the provinces, which would be a great disappointment to the people. He trusted the General would not yield to the influences which had been brought to bear upon him, but carry out, if not to the full extent, at least some part of the programme which had been laid down for him. Mr. CBBXER, on behalf of the Working Men's Commit tee, read the resolution agreed to last night by that com mittee, similar in its purport to that adopted by the City Committee. He said the statements put forth with respect to his health were looked upon by the working men as mere subterfuges to cover the other intentions, and they gene rally believed that undue influences had been used to induce him to take so sudden a departure. He was the guest not of a party, but of the whole people, and so convinced were the people that his intended departure was not the result of his own wishes that they implored him not to disappoint them at the bidding of any clique, to whatever class they belonged. Several other members of the deputation having spoken to the same effect, General UARIBALDI, with much emotion said,—" I feel deeply grateful to the people of England for the honour they have conferred upon me—an honour of which I feel myself unworthy. The reception I have received from all classes, but especially from the working classes, will never be for gotten by me. I much desire io visit my old friends in New castle and the North. I will consider if I can, consistently with my promise, alter my determination, and will write a note expressing my intention to my friend Mr. Beales to morrow (this) morning. The deputations then took their leave, again urging upon him the propriety of visiting some of the larger towns, and thanking the General for receiving them at so late an hour of the night. The General had just returned from dining with Mr. Gladstone. Both the City and Working Men's Committees meet again this evening. ANOTHER HITCH IN THE SHAKSPERE COM MEMORATION.—The Siccle thus refers to an occur rence mentioned in a Paris letter :—" A banquet, and a performance at the Porto St. Martin Theatre, were to have taken place on Saturday next, April 23, in honour of the 300th anniversary of the birth of Shakspere. Hamlet,' the Midsummer Night's Dream,' and Falstaff, made up the programme of the representation. The banquet alone will take place—it is hoped so at least—but the performance is prohibited. If allusions to Denmark were feared, • Hamlet' might have been replaced by Othello; there also, it is true, allusions to Venice present themselves ; but what can be urged against Falstaff, or the Midsummer Night's Dream ?' Is Falstaff a demagogue, and has society any thing to fear from the subveisivo principles of Titastia F Imagine the astonishment of the English when they read in their journals, under the heading of Paris :—‘The au thorities have just prohibited the performance in honour of Shakspere, deeming it incompatible wi►h the maintenance of public LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGII-STREET. GROSS CRUELTY TO ♦N OMNIBUS HORSE.—Charles Hornblow, the driver of omnibus 7355, in the employ of the General Omnibus Company, was charged by Mr. W. Love, the chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with having cruelly tortured a horse by working it while in an unfit state. It appeared from the evidence of Sell, one of the society's officers, that he saw the defendant driving the horse near St. Martin's Church, the horse being attached to an omni bus plying between that point and Camden-town. The horse was suffering from extreme lamer ese in one of its hind feet, the fetlock joint being knuckled over, so that every step the animal took it came in contact with the ground. The horse appeared to be suffering greatly, and could scarcely drag the defective leg after it; and, in addition to this, both its hind legs were greatly swollen, and there was a wound on one of them, brought on through the animal kicking one leg against the other through weak. ness. The animal was in a disgraceful state, and totally unfit for work. The defendant said he was obliged to drive the horses given him to drive. He had been driving the horse Come days, but his employers were going to have it killed, with a number of others which were used up. The magistrate said it was disgraceful on the part of any omnibus proprietor to send out such horses for public use He should fine the defendant lOs or 14 days only, not be lieving him to be the person most to blame, and the society could proceed against the company ii they had any case against them. One of the road directors in the employ of the company stepped forward, and said he would at once direct that the horse should be taken sway and destroyed, and the society's officer could see it done. Mr. Love directed Sell to see this carried out. The fine was paid. ANOTHER CASE,—Frederick Briefly, badge 9,600, driver of omnibus number 7,059, the property of Mr. Henry Ward, of 9, Stanley-mews, Paddington, was charged before Mr. Knox, at the instance of Mr. William Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelly ilitreating a horse, by working it in an unfit state. From the evidence of George Choyce, one of the society's officers, it appeared that this morning about 9, while in com pany of Temperley, another officer, he saw the defendant driving a horse attached to an omnibus with three or four largo raw wounds on its shoulders, into which the collar was pressing, and causing the poor animal great suffering. In answer to Mr. Knox, the officer and Inspector Bowles both stated that one of the wounds was visible to every• body. Defendant said he was not aware the horse was in such a state. Mr, Knox, having inspected the horse, said that anything more cruel than to drive a horse with such wounds on it, and with such a load, he could not conceive. He should fine the defendant 205., or 14 days, and the proprietor of the horse and the horse keeper could be summoned for send ing it out in such a state. ROBBERY ♦ND Assix LT.—Ellen Williams, an unfortu nate, was charged with robbing Mr. George Wilson, of No. 3, College-street, Camden•town, of three sovereigns, at a coffeehouse brothel, in Bear-street, Leicester-square, known as Tabb's coffeehouse; and John Crawley, a powerfully built young man, was charged with. assaulting the pro• secutor. The prosecutor met the female in the Haymarket at an early hour this morning, and accompanied her to a private room at Tabb's coffee house, and after being there half an hour he missei three sovereigns. He spoke to the land. lord, who put both him and the female out of doors so as not to attract the attention of the police to the place. On getting outside the prosecutor was about to follow the female, when the male prisoner came up and asked the pro secutor why he was doing so, and then struck the prose cutor on the head, and went off with the female. The prosecutor then spoke to Crawley, 169 E, and be succeeded in capturing the prisoners, and, on searching them, found on the female LI 15s Id, and on the man 9e 31. In answer to Nlr Knot the constable said the prosecutor was quite sober at the time. Barns, the gaoler, said that Sergeant Gordon, he believed, could prove a conviction against the female. Mr Knox remanded the prisoners for a week. ................- THAMES. A DESPERATE RUFFIAN. —James Donovan, who said he was an Irish Cockney, and a dock labourer, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged w i t h ma ki ng a di s t ur bance at the Green Dragon public-h ouse i n H ig h- s t ree t, Poplar, and violently assaulting tw o p o li ce-consta bl es. Mr. George Frederick Wickers, the landlord of the Green Dragon, said the prisoner went in there last night in a state of intoxication and asked for a pint of beer, with which he was supplied. Mr. Partridge—You ought not to have served him while he was inebriated, It is highly improper. Mr. Vickers—One of my p eople serve d hi m an d was not aware he was tipsy.

Lore CHELMSFORD called the attention of the house to the returns which have been made under the Land Transfer Act. The noble lord was proceeding with his speech when, noticing the excitement that prevailed, con sequent upon the visit of General Garibaldi, he remarked, "I tear I shall not engage your lodships' attention." There was some slight laughter, and "Order" having been called, he again proceeded. In a few minutes a large body of members of the House of Commons appeared at the bar. In a few minutes after (ten minutes to six) General Garibaldi entered the house in company with Sir Augustus Clifford, and at the same moment the light was turned full on, thus showing off the gorgeous chamber to the fullest effect. He took up his position in front of the throne, the only person near him being the Usher of the Black Rod, The space on either side was excessively crowded, but for once the General had the opportunity of viewing one scene at least without being inconvenienced by a crowd. Lord Chelmsford, who was still addressing the house, turned smiling as the General appeared before the Throne and behind the Lord Chancellor; as much as to say—What shall I do? He, however, proceeded with his address. General Garibaldi made a slight bow to their lordships on entering, and, in a few seconds after, the Bishop of Oxford rose from his seat, and entered into conversation with the General for some minutes. Lord Harrowby also spoke a few words to the General, and when he returned Earl Russell walked towards him and shook hands with the illustrious visitor. After remaining four or five minutes tho General with drew. During the whole of the time Lord Chelmsford con tinued to address the house. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Evening, The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER.

SUBSIDY TO ROYAL MAIL STEAM COMPANY. Mr. CAVE asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the West India colonies have been called upon by the Treasury to contribute th© sum of £37,554 for the present year towards the subsidy to the Royal Flail Steam Packet Company ; and, if so, whether the consent of those colonies had been previously obtained; and, whether he would lay upon the table of the house the copy of a letter from him self to Sir Fre ierick Rogers, together with the copy of a letter from the Postmaster General enclosed therein on the subject. 11ir. PEEL said that notice had been given to the proper parties in the colonies that it was expected they would contribute half towards the expenses in question. UNION ASSESSMENT -ACT. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS asked the President of the Poor Law Board it he intended to propose any amendment of the Union Assessment Act during the present session, and particularly if he intended so to alter that act as to make it compulsory on parties to appeal to the Assessment Committee before appealing to the• justices in quarter ses sions. Mr. VILLIERS said it Was his intention to introduce a provision in the Act he proposed to bring before the house, and make an amendment in reference to this subject. GARIBALDI, Mr. liINNAIRD said that a rumour had been prevalent in the metropolis, and had appeared in the public news papers, to the effect that a Minister of the Crown had been instrumental in inclining the abrupt departure of General Garibaldi from this country. (Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thanked his hon. friend for having afforded him an opportunity of making a personal explanation in reference to those absurd rumours alluded to. On Saturday last it was communi cated to him that the friends of General Garibaldi enter tained fears for his health, and 14. Ferguson, one of the most eminent medical men— Mr. SCULLY rose to order, as the matter now intro duced was irrelevant to the question. The SPEAKER decided that the Chancellor of the Ex cheq :er was quite in order. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER repeated that the General's friends were beginning to entertain fears relative to his health, and he was requested by the Duke of Sutherland to go to Stafford House that evening at 9 o'clock in order to consider, with other of the General's friends, what they should advise him to do under the circumstances. He went to Stafford House accordingly, and as it appeared that the General had promised to visit no less than thirty" towns in the kingdom, it was apprehendLd that he would not be able to do so with safety. The Earl of Shaftes bury and other friends of the G;n•'rai present came to the conclusion that they ought to advise him to contract his circle of places to be visited. The conclusion was communicated to the General by him, and it was represented to him that if he carried out his intention he would be endangering his health, in the preservation of which the people of this country felt so great an in terest. (Hear, hear.) That was the whole substance Jf hie communication, and the upshot of it was that he should contract his visits and state before leaving London the places to which he intended to go before his de parture. The Genoa listened to him and said that there was great force in what ho stated, but then it would be difficult to make the seketion suggested, and that ho considered the object of his visit to England had been accomplished when he cane to the me tropolis, that object being to thank the people of this country for what they had done with regard to his health, and that he thought when he visited the nretropolis he visited the whole country, whose feelings it represented. He added that all th e promises he had glycol as to his visits were conditional. and hoped on:a future occasion to be able to visit this country without pomp or ceremony. Mr. SCULLY wished to know whether the metropolis represented the feeling of Ireland F (Laughter.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had made no suggestion to the General as to any tour in Ireland and England, and left the selection entirely to the General hims THE LISI3T;RN ELECTION COMMITTEE. Mr. BIJIT, in presenting petitions on ths , subject of the proceedings in respect to the comsiittee, drew attention to the hardship inflicted on Mr. Richardson, who for 11 days sustained the expense of contesting the return of the sitting member without any benefit owing to the illness of one of the members. He contended that there should be an alteration in the case of their election committees, and concluded by moving the following :—" That the Select Committee on the Lisburn Election Petitions do re-assemble and report upon the matter referred to them by the house." Atter some remarks by Mr. HuNT and the ATTORNEY GENERAL, the motion Was nezatived without a division, THE FIRE INSURANCE DUTY. On going into Committee of Wave and Means, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended hie propoeition for the reduction of the duty on fire ineur anca, He then entered into different details, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.)

About 6 o'clock Garibaldi entered the house, accompanied by Mr. Seely and several other friends, and took his place in the sea's at the end of the house, below the bar, usually appropriated to the members of the Upper House. The General appeared to pay particular attention to the pro ceedings, and to listen with interest to Mr. Seely as he pointed out the prominent members of the house. After about six or seven minutes the General retired, ac companied by his friends. The front seat of the strangers' gallery, set apart for distinguished foreigners, was filled, and amongst those present were Signor Negretti and the two sons of Garibaldi.

He was much beloved by his fellow officers. MURDER AND SuicTDE.—Yesterday morning Dr. Lsnkeeter held an inquest at the Silver Cup, Cro. mer-street, Gray's-inn-road, on the bodies of John Thome Pearce and Keziah Pearce, his wife, who, it will be re membered, were found on Monday morning last with their throats cut at No. 6, Leigh-street, Burton crescent. The jury proceeded to the house to view the bodies, which lay in the condition in which they were found. They wore in a back room on the ground floor, each lying face downwards. The furniture seemed undisturbed. One thing, however, attracted the attention of the jury, and that was that the stove was partly cleaned, with one brush on the hob, and the fire laid ready for lighting, The woman appeared to have fallen nearest the door, as though she had endeavoured to get out of the room. Mrs. Martha Page identified the body as that of her deceased daughter, who was 43 years of age. She had been married about a twelvemonth to John Thomas Pearce, and lived very un happily with him owing to his drunkenness. She was afraid to leave him, as ho had said if she did so he would kill her. Henry Page, brother to the deceased woman, gave similar 1 testimony, but added that she had told him her husband was, without cause, jealous of her and young Mr. Ashley. Pearce and his wife had lived together ever since his sister was 17, but he believed they had been lately married. Alfred Isaacs Ashley said his father carried on business at No. 6, Leigh street. The deceased woman was their housekeeper, and the husband also lived there. Their sitting-room was the back room on the ground floor, and they slept, in one of the attics. They had been there 6 or 7 months, He believed that there had been some difference between them, owing to the husband wishing to leave that house. Mrs. Pearce had told him that it was owing to jealousy respecting witness, but there was no foundation for such a thing. On Monday morning, about S o'clock, witness came downstairs and found their bedroom door open, and was surprised at findin g the passage door locked. O a go i ng into the kitchen he saw' blood coming through the flooring of their room and run ning down the wall. He then called is a police-con s t a bl e . Pearce conducted hi mse lf at t i mes i n a strange manner . James Odell, 28 described the losition i n which he found . the bodies, a hammer, and knife covered with blood , in the room. Mr. Jam es Th omas P aul, divisional police au' rgeon, found them both dead. The woman was lying behind the man. She had a contused wound on the crown of the head, laying the bone bare. There were two wounds on the neck, one above the other, each separating all the large vessels. One of them showed that the windpipe and gullet had been cut through, and the instrument had passed into the back of the spine. The blow ou the head was such as would be produced by a hummer similar to the one belore the Court. The cause of death was lisa,norrhage from the wound in the throat. There being no blood upon the hammer could be accounted fur by the headdress being struck, and so preventing the immediate escape of the blood. Harriet --/Tatopso n id en tified the deceased man as her son. He w as 43 years o age , a nd worked at St. Katharine's Ducks, in the bottliag department. About eight weeks since she visited him, whin her daughter-in law told her she was afraid her husband was going mad like his father, who had been insane ten years. She feared he would kill her. Her son had also told her that be thought he should go mad, like his father. Mr. Paul showed that tho whole of the vessels of the throat of deceased had been divided, producing death from the self•inflicted wound. Tho jury returned a verdict in the case of the woman, of " Willul Murder against John Thomas ,Pearce," and in that of the man "Suicide while in an unsound state of mind." In the week that ended on the 9,11 inst. the total number of deaths in Vienna, as returned by Dr. Glatter, was 435.
